Djerv orĐerv (/dʒɜːrv/,JƏRV;Majuscule:Ꙉ,Minuscule:ꙉ) is one of theCyrillic alphabet letters that was used inOld Cyrillic. It was used in many earlySerbian monuments to represent the sounds/dʑ/ and/tɕ/ (modern đ/ђ and ć/ћ).[1] It exists in the Cyrillic Extended-B table as U+A648 and U+A649. It is the basis of the modern lettersЋ andЂ; the former was in fact a direct revival of djerv and was considered the same letter.[1]
Djerv is also commonly used inSerbian Cyrillic, where it was an officially used letter. When placed before the letters н and л it represented the sounds/ɲ/ and/ʎ/, which are represented byЊ andЉ today, respectively.
It can be transliterated asǴ.[2]
The letter Ђ was formed in 1818 byVuk Stefanović Karadžić after several proposals of reforming Djerv by Lukijan Mušicki and Gligorije Geršić.[3][4][1] However the letter Ћ (also based on djerv) was first used byDositej Obradović in a direct reform of djerv.[5][6]
